The invention relatesto faucet valves, and

has for its object to provide the faucet valve with a stem, which stemextends downwardly into a pipe and forms means formaintaining sion 10 ofthe-barrel- H I s I 'Threaded at 11 into the'casing extension 4 is'apipe12, which pipe has disposed therein 7 stop lugs 13, which limit thedownward niovement of the ball valve or other oper- 5 the-ball valve. orother; similar operating member unseated in relation to a valve seat Y{carried by the pipe during ordinary move- 'fment of the faucet valve"The stem, when the valve is removed from the faucetvalve' 10 casingallows the ball valve or other'similar repair of the faucet valve, suchforinstance as placing a new washer thereon, or other formed on the sameplane affixed to a faucet valve for the purpose designed and desired..Vith the above'and other ob ects 1I1-Vl6W the invention resides inthecombination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set.

forth, shown in the drawing, described and claimed, it being understoodthat changes 1 in the preciseembodiment of the invention may be madewithinthe scope of what is claimed without 'departing'from the spirit ofthe invention" In the drawing p v 1 Figure 1 is I a verticallongitudinal sectional view through the faucet-valve.

Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional taken on line 22 of Figure 1.

.Referring to thedrawing, the numeral 1 designates the faucet valvecasingand 2 the discharge spout carried thereby." The casing 1 isprovided with'a conventional form of flange or similar member 3 carriedby the errtension 41, whereby'the faucet valve may be supported in theusualmanneron the wash basin or in any other position. Disposed within.the casingl is a threaded barrel 5, which is threaded into the upwardlyeXtend-. ing member 6 of the valve casing, and which stem 7, the upperend of which. terminates in a handle member 8, and by means of whichhandle member the barrel 5 maybe threaded upwardly or downwardly forturnoperating member -to"seat, thereby allowing view barrel at its upperend is provided with a ing on or cutting off the flow of water throughthe faucet valve as desired.

However it will be seen when the cap-9 is removedfandthe barrel-5 removed from the cas ng 1, at which time the stem 16 1sren'ieved, the ball valve,

or desirable operating member l'et, under the i pressure of the water,will immediatelyseat on the valve seat 17 thereby allowing repairs to bemade to the faucet valve without the necessity of. cutting off the flow"of water through the house or system. Washer 9 cooperates withthe valveseat 18 adjacent the valve seat 17,- and it will be noted that both ofsaidseats are carried by the same member 19, therefore itwill be seenthat the cost of manufacture is reduced to a minimum. The valve stem 16is, provided with an en-' v largement 20, preferably-in the form. ofanut or any other type preferredywhich will engage theiwasher'fithatwillhold-said washer on the extension 1,0,and it will be seen that thestem 16 has a double function,

for, maintaining and operating the faucet valve.

From the above it will be seen vthat a fau cet valve is provided whichis provided with an auxiliary valve meansle, which is nor-; mally heldin inoperative positiomwhen the valve is'assembled, but which will immediately seat when the valve is disassembled, for instance when it isdesired to renew the washertherein or other repairs without thenecessity of turn ng ,offfthe water system. a whichisvery lnconvenientfrom the present methods now in use involving a lot of 'un necessarytime, labor and expense.
